Mitch Hedberg: From 2004 AV Club interview
O: Were you using your one-liner style from the beginning?
Mitch Hedberg: … The one-liner style, that came because I’m not a good storyteller. I would add on to a concept that I thought was funny but was getting no laughs, and I’d get more uptight. I decided to get to the point quicker, get rid of all the fat. When I tell a story, it’s always been very much just the facts, so all my jokes are really stories that are broken down to the most factual sense.
